The PyCogent development team is proud to announce the release of PyCogent 1.4.1. This is a minor point release, but includes some exciting new features. Some of the notable additions are the new uclust application controller, which currently supports uclust v1.1.579, and major additions to the Cookbook documentation, courtesy of Tom Elliot. This release supports QIIME 1.0.0 and PyNAST 1.1, whose development teams partially overlap with the PyCogent development team, and which make extensive use of PyCogent.

The PyCogent Team has created a ‘News and Announcements’ Blog to inform users of new features, bug fixes, and information regarding the PyCogent Bioinformatics Toolkit. You can find our blog at https://pycogent.wordpress.com.
